Framingham State University is proud to present the
2012-13 Arts & Ideas program - a yearlong series of
engaging speakers, performances, exhibitions and films
on campus. The series is designed to stimulate interesting
and thought-provoking debate and conversations and
enhance co-curricular learning. Most events are free and
open to the public.
A highlight of this year’s program is the Peace and Conflict
Series, featuring several lectures and performances that
seek to enhance knowledge of current global affairs and
raise deep philosophical issues that extend beyond each
special event. The series offers a big-picture examination
of the shared causes of conflict. Several of the events are
aimed at making participants better-informed historians
of the recent past. Others will show the audience how to
theorize “peace,” not as the simple absence of war, but
as an active doing in the world. The series highlights
activism - from teaching conflict resolution to offering
healing, or asylum before, during, and after conflict.
